Floyd Mayweather Signs $20M Deal to Wrestle


Floyd Mayweather Jr., one of the great fighters of his time, has decided to take on another challenge: professional wrestling.

It was just announced that Mayweather has signed a $20 million dollar deal to be part of WWE's "WrestleMania XXIV".

“It’s entertainment. You have a chance to just be you and do what you want to do,” Mayweather said Monday.

Mayweather praised the WWE, who has been under suspicion for a steroid use among its athletes.

“Wrestling takes care of business right on the spot,” Mayweather said. “Whatever they say they’re going to do, they do it right on the spot. There’s no waiting three, four, five months. Quick results, quick money. Quick big money, too.”

The match is going to be shown via live Pay-Per_View. It will also take place outside. The Staples Center crowd was given more excitement by Mayweather, who threw $100 bills out into the audience.

“I run Vegas and I run L.A. and I will run the WWE,” said Mayweather.

This is a clasic examole of a black man selling himself. The wrestle federation won't make much money from the black community because it is just stupid. On top of that does he really need the money from this event. Hopefully he gives the money to a school for computers instead of putting it in his account. It is just foolish to see a great standing uo beside this man and talking about wrestling him. I would understand if tyson took his place and I don't thin I need to explain further. Make your money and make it in a respectful way.
